Have a look at CT2 in aminoacids.c.tdb please:

[ CT2 ]
[ replace ]
  O        CC        12.011    0.55
  O        O        15.9994    -0.55


It is +0.55 as what you said. But I see all carbonyl C in aminoacids.rtp file 
have +0.51 charge.
I think the amidated C-terminal in my top file should be charged +0.55 as what 
I see in c.tdb. Shouldn't be? Why it couldn't understand to take +0.55 charge 
for this last residue?


There is an error in the .tdb file. The first [replace] line attempts to replace an O atom and assign it a CC type with charge of +0.55, which is then overridden by the next line, which assigns the O atom an O type with -0.55 charge. The carbonyl C is (erroneously) not adjusted. The correct line is present in the charmm27.ff folder:

[ CT2 ]
[ replace ]
 C      CC      12.011  0.55
 O      O       15.9994 -0.55
